Proposal
Boundary of 92 & 94 St Bernards Road: Remove Ash tree 2, completely strangled by ivy and evidence of dying with very little new growth. Remove Sycamore tree 3, that has developed a severe lean towards both the houses at 92 and 94 and is now encroaching on the low-lying branches of the well-established magnolia tree that is over 100 years old. Remove tree 6, that is growing through the ancient yew tree and leaning towards the footpath and highway, the tree has also surrounded the lamppost to such an extent light from it is completely obscured.

What a grant of permission means
The process from here
Permission has been granted, usually subject to conditions listed on the decision notice, some of which must be discharged before work starts. The decision notice on the council portal sets out exactly what was approved.
Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses. Neighbours cannot appeal a grant; challenging one means judicial review of how the decision was made, within tight time limits.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.
